Answer:

67.5°

16.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to data, ship is at 15 miles due west to light house A.

Light house B is 6.2 miles due south of Light house A

Now,

                Ship______15 miles_____Light house A

                                                            ║

                                                            ║ 6.2 miles

                                                            ║  

                                                            Light house B

You can see that, if you draw an imaginary straight line from light house B to ship, it is forming a right angle triangle,

so, according to Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2 + (Perpendicular)^2

We need to find hypotenuse,

Base = 6.2, Perpendicular = 15

So, H^2 = (15)^2 + (6.2)^2

H^2 = 225 + 38.44

H = 16.23 miles

now for rounding of to nearest 10th place

H = 16.2 miles

Now for angle of Ship from light house is

Cos^Ф = Base/Hypotenuse

Base = 6.2

Hypotenuse = 16.2

Cos^Ф = 6.2/16.2

Ф = 67.49°

After rounding off to the nearest tenth place

Ф = 67.5°

the scale on a map is stated as 1:250000 two villages are 9 cm apart on the map how far from each other are the two villages in
Karolina [17]

Answer:

22.5 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is

1:250,000

That means

1 unit on a map represent 250,000 units in the actual

or

1 cm on a map represent 250,000 cm in the actual

or

1 cm on a map represent 2,500 m in the actual

or

1 cm on a map represent 2,5 km in the actual

therefore

using proportion

Find out how much represent 9 cm apart on the map

\frac{1}{2.5}\ \frac{cm}{km}=\frac{9}{x}\ \frac{cm}{km}\\\\x=9(2.5)\\\\x=22.5\ km

Can anyone help me with dis
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Slope is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:

Step 1 - x_2-x_1=change_.in_.x

Step 2 - y_2-y_1=Change_.in_.y

Step 3 - \frac{Change_. in_. y}{Change_.in_.x}=slope

So lets start by doing step one.

All we need is to look for two x values. Lets use 5 and 6:

6-5=1

So 1 is our change of x. This is our 1st step.

Next we can use 2 y values, note that these should be the 2 y values that go wiht the x values above. So this means we have to use -3 and -1:

-1-(-3) = 2

So 2 is our change in y. This is our 2nd step.

Now lets plug this into:

\frac{Change_. in_. y}{Change_.in_.x}=slope:

\frac{2}{1}  = 2

So our slope is 2. Completing our 3rd and final step.

Hope this helps!

Hi there, 
To find your answer you would, divide 2 by 10. That would give you 0.2. That means that every glass will have 0.2quarts of juice.
